Adopt AIKO

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

AIKO has recently arrived at our shelter. He is very affectionate towards humans, cuddly, and playful. AIKO will need to work on managing his emotions, as well as crossing paths with other animals of the same species during walks. We do not yet know how he gets along with other animals of the same species, nor with cats. He cannot live with young children but will not be bothered by teenagers. AIKO can live in a house or an apartment. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children.

Read original (fr)

Aiko est arrivé au refuge, suite à un abandon dissimulé. Il se montre très proche de l’humain, câlin et joueur. Aiko aura besoin de travailler sur sa gestion d’émotions, ainsi que sur les croisements de congénères en promenade. L'entente avec les chiens est compliquée, il faudra tester au cas par cas, au refuge. Il s'entend cependant avec les chats ! Il ne pourra pas vivre avec des enfants en bas âge, mais des adolescents ne lui poseront pas souci. Aiko pourra vivre en maison comme en appartement.

About AIKO

What life with AIKO looks like

AIKO is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Thionville in Thionville.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting AIKO, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about AIKO?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Thionville handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw AIKO on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt AIKO if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Thionville will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is AIKO already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if AIKO isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with SPA Thionville early rather than rehoming privately; they know AIKO and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
